Two Rivers

“Wyatt’s statue -- an 18-foot tall flowing, crusty bronze behemoth designed to represent the cultural bond between the people who live along the Arno and Hudson Rivers -- was mostly underwritten by a $350,000 grant from the city of Florence. The project took two years and, says exhibition curator Michelangiolo Bastiani, more than 50 official permissions and hours of arguments to complete.” (Michelangelo’s Florence Is Abuzz Over 11-Ton American Statue, Bloomberg)

Okay. I'll agree with whatever they say. Not my favorite kind of art, but...it is interesting!
